- Dark Days/Light Years, the ninth studio album by Super Furry Animals, was digitally released at 8pm on 16th March 2009 via the band's own website with a physical release following on the 21st of April on Rough Trade Records.. The album's title is taken from a lyric in the song "Moped Eyes" ("dark days seem light years away"). Many of the songs on the album are based around riffs and grooves the band have been working on for the last few years and features only one slow song which "isn't slow at all". The statement went on to claim that the saxophone and lap steel guitar have been consigned to the "banned instrument directive of the SFA board" with drummer Dafydd Ieuan apparently developing a phobia of the latter.". The band originally planned to record the album in Miraval, France like their previous effort Hey Venus!, but decided to record in Cardiff with a considerably lower budget than recent albums due to the global economic recession. The completion of the album was documented by a series of 22 short films that were shown on the Super Furry Animals website, with one film added each day leading up to its original digital release. Longtime sleeve designer Pete Fowler collaborated with Hey Venus! artist Keiichi Tanaami to produce the album's artwork. The track "Inaugral Trams" includes spoken word German vocals by Franz Ferdinand's Nick McCarthy. The band broadcast a live show on their own website (superfurry. com) featuring songs from the album on the day of its digital release, which proved a success despite initial technical glitches. The 12" vinyl release features different artwork from the CD version, and also has a free copy of the album on CD slipped inside the sleeve. The album peaked at #23 in the UK Album Charts in its first week of physical release, however it will have charted higher but the band sold a number of pre-order copies and digital downloads via their website, which is not a registered chart company. At just over an hour, it is the band's longest album
